I am participating in the "Fall into Reading Challenge" over on the Callapidder Days blog.
These are the other participants.
I encourage you to join this challenge. :-)

Here is what I am going to try to read by December 21st (yes, I intend to read a lot) :

• The Calligrapher's Companion by Mary Noble & Janet Mehigan (it is also a practice workbook)
  

• Learn to Draw & Paint by Curtis Tappenden

• A Slob in the Kitchen by Karen Duffy (yes, Karen Duffy who was on MTV)....it is a recipe book. I enjoy recipe books that you can read from cover-to-cover. This one gets a little rowdy at times but has a lot of great hints about entertaining.
